Seattle World's Fair Complete Set Gold & Silver.  Population 4 (Extremely Rare) 1 is currently at Smithsonian Institution  1 Only other set kept together! (THIS ONE) 2 have been broken apart and sold separately  The gold set consists of one large (64-mm, 192.5-gm) gold medal, eight medium (38-mm, 36.5-gm) gold medals, and one small (33.5-mm, 22.1-gm) medal, each struck in 14-kt gold. The very large gold medal and smallest medal were struck at the U.S. Mint, while the eight medium medals were struck by the Metal Arts Co. of Rochester, New York. The two medals produced by the U.S. Mint were designed by George Tsutakawa. It was believed that just four of these gold sets were produced, with one of the four reportedly held by the Smithsonian Institution. Based upon new information our consignor provided, we know that only four complete gold sets were indeed produced, for presentation only and not to be sold, according to a July 12, 1962, letter from Ms. Eva Adams, Mint director.
